Subject: Network media player that will play files from Linux server?

I'm in the market for a network media player for my living room. I've found several, but many require specific software running on the server PC. This means that the server needs to be running some flavour of Windows for the most part. My file server is running Debian etch 4.0r1, with an FTP server and some Samba shares. Can someone suggest a network media player appliance that will work with a Linux server? P.s. I don't want a PC running in my living room. I'm looking for a box that is as simple to install and operate as a DVD player or cable TV box. Thx!
